Finland…Is that near New Zealand?

Finland is located in Scandinavia, to the east of Sweden and to the west of Russia. Estonia is just a ferry ride to the south. (Finland is nowhere near New Zealand – in fact, it’s darn near the complete opposite side of the world. But someone did ask me that.)

I’ve been reading up like crazy on Finland, but I still have no idea what to expect. I’ve been following another blog, Travels With Pam, to get a feel for what it’s like where we’ll be living. Check out her posts and pictures!

(PS, we got word that our visas have been approved, and we should be in Finland in three weeks! So excited!!)
